HOTPOT HOTSPOTS

Steamboat, mookata, jeongol, shabu-shabu, sukiyaki – hotpot comes in many forms and appeals to people from all walks of life. Singaporeans, in particular, seem to love their hotpot, and we’re lucky to be spoilt for choice with an abundance of options. 

 

In this guide, we’re sharing our favourites across Far East Malls — how many have you tried?

Happy Lamb Hot Pot

This Mongolian restaurant is known for serving its hotpot without dipping sauces — a clear indication of the pride it takes in its flavourful broth!

Its lamb cuts, directly sourced from their own ranches in Scottish Highlands, are quality- and freshness-assured. Make a reservation now to enjoy a promotional 12% off your total bill!

Jin Li Steamboat Buffet

Attentive service, fresh meats sliced to perfection and a variety of broth and ingredients to choose from — Jin Li Steamboat has it all. Its specially brewed spicy Mala hotpot broth is consistently delicious and free of the bitter overtones that can arise when Szechuan peppercorns are boiled for too long. That’s a big plus point in our books, especially when it’s an all-you-can-eat buffet that you want to take time to enjoy.

Visit Jin Li Steamboat at Woods Square, #B2-04. 

Shabu Sai

Japanese hotpot is just as popular as Chinese steamboat in Singapore. Those in the know flock to Shabu Sai, a popular all-you-can-eat restaurant that serves shabu-shabu (Japanese hotpot) as well as authentic Sukiyaki and sushi. It has seven soup bases and a splendid array of ingredients on the buffet line! Must-try specialities include the Tonkotsu soup base, prepared using the same formula as the restaurant’s outlets in Japan, and the Sukiyaki soup base, which is sweet and savoury at the same time. There’s also the Cordyceps Flower Herbal Pot (brewed with a pork and chicken base) available exclusively in August and September. Try it with signature items like the pork, beef or chicken served in bamboo — because bamboo’s natural anti-bacterial properties is said to protect the freshness of the minced meat! 

Visit Shabu Sai at Orchard Central, #08-09.

Gangnam Story

Its affordable buffet means you get unlimited servings of premium items like salmon, good-sized prawns, mud crabs (U.P $20, included in the buffet!), scallops, beef short plate, shabu beef and more. There’s also an option for two soup bases with no additional fee; just pick your favourites from the five on offer: the savoury Collagen Broth, Ginseng Chicken, traditional Kimchi Seaweed Soup, the Singapore favourite Spicy Mala and the tangy Tomato Soup. You can add on $8.80++ for the Abalone Seafood Soup too.
